STORAGE

If you are going to store your generator for more than 30 days, use the following information as a guide to prepare the generator for storage.

Never store generator with fuel in the tank

indoors or in enclosed, poorly venti- lated areas, where fumes can reach an open flame, spark, or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer, or other gas appliances.

ENGINE PREPARATION

1.Add fuel stabilizer to fuel tank to minimize the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.

2.Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow it to enter the fuel system.

3.Shut off engine.

4.Disconnect the spark plug wire and remove the spark plug.

5.Add one teaspoon of oil through the spark plug hole.

6.Place rag over spark plug hole and pull the recoil a few times to lubricate the combustion chamber.

7.Replace the spark plug, but do not connect the spark plug wire.

NOTE: If a fuel stabilizer is not used, all gasoline must be drained from the tank and carburetor to prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts and causing possible malfunction of the engine.

IMPORTANT: If gasoline is removed from the tank, oil needs to be added to prevent rust from forming in the tank:

1.Pour a cup of SAE 10W-30 oil into the gas tank.

2.With assistance from another person, shake or roll the unit so the oil covers the complete gas tank.

3.Drain off excess oil.

GENERATOR

Clean the generator as outlined in the Maintenance Section on this manual.

Check that cooling air slots and openings on generator are open and unobstructed.
